| 11 | +# Can't install Dynamics 365 Customer Service applications in an existing Power Platform environment |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +This article provides guidance for users encountering issues while trying to install Dynamics 365 Customer Service applications, such as the Customer Service workspace and Customer Service admin center model-driven apps, in an existing Power Platform environment. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +## Symptoms |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Users can't install Dynamics 365 Customer Service applications in an existing Power Platform environment, such as the [Customer Service workspace](/dynamics365/customer-service/implement/csw-overview?tabs=customerserviceadmincenter) and the [Copilot Service admin center (previously known as Customer Service admin center)](/dynamics365/customer-service/implement/cs-admin-center) model-driven applications. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +This issue occurs due to one or more of the following reasons: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +## Cause 1: The environment is Dataverse-only |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +- The environment is created as a Dataverse-only environment without enabling Dynamics 365 apps. |
| 24 | +- Dynamics 365 applications, such as Customer Service workspace, require the environment to be created with the **Enable Dynamics 365 apps** option selected during the environment setup. |
| 25 | +- The **Enable Dynamics 365 apps** option allows the environment to host first-party applications such as Dynamics 365 Sales, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, and Dynamics 365 Marketing. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +### Resolution |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +1. Navigate to the [Power Platform admin center](https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/). |
| 30 | +2. Select the environment where you are trying to install the applications. |
| 31 | +3. Go to **Settings** > **Overview**, verify whether the environment is listed as **Dataverse-only** or if Dynamics 365 apps are enabled. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +## Cause 2: Missing or incorrect licensing |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Users trying to install or access Dynamics 365 applications must have the appropriate license assigned. For more information, see [Customer Service Pricing](/dynamics-365/products/customer-service/pricing). |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +### Resolution |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +1. Go to the [Microsoft 365 admin center](https://admin.microsoft.com/). |
| 40 | +2. Select **Users** > **Active users**. |
| 41 | +3. Locate and select the user who needs access to the Customer Service applications. |
| 42 | +4. Select **Licenses and apps**, and ensure the user has one of the following licenses assigned: |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + - Customer Service Professional |
| 45 | + - Customer Service Enterprise |
| 46 | + - Customer Service Premium |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +5. Save the changes. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +## More information |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +If the current environment isn't configured to support Dynamics 365 applications, follow these steps to create a new environment: |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +1. Navigate to the [Power Platform admin center](https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/). |
| 55 | +2. Select **+ New environment**. |
| 56 | +3. Provide a name and select a region for the new environment. |
| 57 | +4. Under **Type**, select **Production** or **Sandbox** as required. |
| 58 | +5. Enable Dataverse by selecting the appropriate box. |
| 59 | +6. Enable Dynamics 365 apps by selecting the **Enable Dynamics 365 apps** checkbox. |
| 60 | +7. Select **Save** and wait for the provisioning process to complete. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +Once the environment is successfully set up, the [Customer Service Hub](/dynamics365/customer-service/implement/customer-service-hub-user-guide-basics) and Copilot Service admin center applications will be available in the app list for users with the appropriate licenses. |
